Grantown-on-Spey is a town in the former county of Moray in the Highland region of Scotland.
Its War Memorial is a stone column on a square plinth and sits beside the town square. The names of killed and missing are on bronze plaques on the plinth where can also be found a frieze depicting a kilted soldier. When we visited the memorial was decorated with flags making some of the inscriptions unreadable. (Unobstructed photos can be found here.)
Dedication and names of men from Grantown-on-Spey. (The dedication is highlighted here.)
The next plaque bears names from Abernathy (obscured,) Duthil, Rothiemurchus and Aviemore.

The Royal British Legion building in Grantown has minor Art Deco styling and was also decorated for remembrance (even though it was April.)
